Lab Data for COMPSCI 105

Compressed Archives

In order to use these files, you must have on your system some program
for unpacking a .ZIP archive file:

People with Macs, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
on their systems have the ability to unpack .ZIP
archive files by using "compressed folders".

For older Windows systems, the best known package is called
WinZip. This is not
necessary for current versions of Windows.

For old MS-DOS systems, the
best known package is called PKZIP, which you can download
from Internet sites as the file PKZ204G.EXE, which is a
self-extracting archive (run the program once and it unpacks itself
into a bunch of files and programs, including PKZIP.EXE and
PKUNZIP.EXE). This is not necessary for current
versions of Windows.

Note: Macs with Office 2008/2011 will be able
to read the Office 2007 format file. However, Mac
Office 2008 users will NOT be able to perform lab #7
because Excel 2008 does not support macros, which are
required for the assignment. You must either use
Excel 2011 on a Mac or Excel 2007/2010 on a Windows PC for
this assignment. Also: Windows PC users cannot use the
Starter Edition of Excel 2010; you must use the full version
of Excel 2010.
